This is interesting:

I now have my first stains on coloured duvet covers. I'm reluctant to try lemon in case it bleaches so will give vinegar a go as I can't find anythin here that is for rust removal.
Wish me luck...as they are brand new this season and I currently don't have replacements.

Good luck Mousie, ... thinking of you. Let us know what happens...

Here is one of the former threads on the subject of pool liners and suntan creams - go straight to page 2 and about halfway down. A certain Alan Knighting had some useful advice! viewtopic.php?t=689&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be
We have guests who are here for their 4th year and lasy year they used the coloured suncream that stains so badly. They saw for themselves the problems it caused on our pool steps (we have ceramic tiles around the rest of the pool that's easy to clean). this year she tells me that she particularly chose a colour free lotion and in fact the one she is using is clear and no problems on the steps.
I have always been a big fan of white towels and bedding - I can manage the bedding but I am slowly changing over to coloured towels as I am losing so many every season.

Enid, just as you are phasing out white towels, I am phasing them in however! I was disappointed when towels were showing signs of having come near bleach or similar.
Bleach or fake tan - I suspect we're caught between the devil and the deep blue bath!

oh foo. I got two colours from the same supplier - one lot are lilac, the other are a turquoise. The turquoise ones seem to suffer very badly with bleach stains yet the lilac ones don't.
My cleaner and i were discussing this at the weekend - both lots of towels get the same treatment and are washed at the same laundry. Why would one lot consistently suffer bleachmarks and the other not? Unless maybe the lilac ones just happen to be more colour fast?
Aside from that, they don't show any other marks.... just the bleach.

I have removed some off-topic posts and edited a couple of others that referred to them but otherwise stayed on topic. It was a very civil disagreement, but it was out of place in this thread.
Having just been on vacation myself, I became the inadvertent perpetrator of a staining incident. A strange yellow stain appeared on my towel, so my new bottle of sunblock apparently had the culprit ingredient(s) in it. (On top of that, it also didn't work very well.)
It was my aunt's towel that I was using, and I felt badly about it, but thanks to you all on LMH I was able to give her some pointers for removing the stain.
